Wheelbarrows are captivating and pleasurable loose parts that almost seem designed to support many of the most observed play schemas. Playing with a wheelbarrow allows children the opportunity to play with Rotation, Enveloping, Transporting, Scattering, Trajectory, Positioning, and Connecting. They are also good for supporting many types of power play and heavy work. Large or small, metal, plastic, or wood, these devices tend to be built to last–as long as you avoid the cheapest of cheap toy versions. They fall apart if you give them a stern look.
